Pastoral Care
Our vision is to develop boys into young men who are confident and able to pursue their dreams. Young men that are resilient, adaptable, and equipped with the academic, ethical, social and emotional competencies to effect significant and lasting change in a changing world. We strive to create an environment in which all of our boys can participate fully and grow into their full potential.
The broad vision aims to:
• Effectively meet the personal, social (wellbeing) and academic needs of our boys and staff.
• Develop positive self-esteem and a sense of social cohesion.
• Help boys attain skills required to adapt to the changing world outside of school.
• Create ‘mindfulness’, which in turn will lead to resilience and adaptability.
• Address the anxiety felt by boys on leaving school regarding further education and employment opportunities.
• Address issues of cultural and sexual identity.
• Develop personal characteristics that include a positive self-image and good grooming.
• Foster and emphasise the Rondebosch passion and “gees”.
We use a dual grade head system, which places a special responsibility on senior members of staff and their team of class teachers to ensure that all of our boys receive recognition for their actions. Each Pastoral Head is appointed for a five year period and moves up with the grade. Read more
The Counselling Department has access to a network of professionals in social and psychological services for learners, in consultation with their parents, to be referred to when needed. This sometimes involves a programme of intervention, to support the learner in managing school life. Read more
Our vision is to provide a programme that exposes all of our boys to leadership opportunities at every level. We want the boys to be constantly challenged by teachers and their peers. Our principles and practices are aligned with the school’s educational mission and vision, so all of the planned activities revolve around what is best for our boys. Read more
Rondebosch boys are actively involved in a number of projects locally, nationally and internationally. Read more
